Sulfur is a nonmetal. Specifically, it's a chalcogen.
Silicon would be classified as a metalloid. Aluminum and copper are classified as metals, while tin is typically classified as a metal. Metalloids have properties that are in between metals and nonmetals on the periodic table.
No. Transition metals, traditionally, are considered to be the "D" block on the periodic table. The alternative definition is those in the "D" block that have incomplete sub-shell "d" = cations....so, this would leave out group 12 (IIB) Ask your Prof or Teacher what they want.
Color, as it is not a reliable indicator due to variations within the same type of rock. Texture, mineral composition, and formation conditions are typically used to classify igneous rocks.
Sulfur (S) is classified as an active nonmetal in period 4.
An air mass originating over Alaska and Canada would be classified as a continental polar air mass due to its cold and dry characteristics.
The element 119 will be very probable an alkali metal.
nonmetals are the best insulators
As a physical mixture Gatorade would not be up for consideration to classify as any of these. We normally only classify ELEMENTS as metals, metalloids, and non-metals. It is mostly composed of water - which is composed of the non-metals hydrogen and oxygen, sugars - the molecules of which are made up of the non-metals hydrogen, oxygen and carbon (although carbon is occasionally classified as metalloid), and some salts of sodium and potassium - both metals, but bonded with chlorine, a non-metal, in the salts.
It would actually be metal, metalloid, and nonmetals!!! :)
You would expect the insulation around an electrical outlet to be made from a nonmetal material. Metalloid metals are typically not good insulators and could conduct electricity, which could be dangerous in this context. Nonmetal materials, such as plastics or rubber, are commonly used as insulators to prevent the flow of electricity.
The best insulator is likely C because it is a nonmetal. Nonmetals are poor conductors and therefore good insulators. Si is a metalloid.
Copper would never be classified as a metalloid it is a metal.
Silicon is classified as a metalloid and is located in Group 14 (or Group IV), Period 3 of the periodic table. It has properties of both metals and nonmetals.
A nonmetal would have the greatest tendency to shatter upon impact with a hammer, as nonmetals tend to be brittle and have weaker intermolecular forces holding their structure together compared to metals and metalloids. Metalloids and metals are typically more malleable and ductile, making them less likely to shatter upon impact.
That would be boron, with an atomic mass of 10.811.
a metalloid
WHich group would you classify -3
